More on Health Care

In March, when Republicans pulled a vote on their American Health Care Act, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi took off her shoes and literally jumped for joy.

On Thursday, as Republicans cobbled together the votes to resurrect and pass the bill, Pelosi (D-Calif.) insisted that the sun was still coming out for Democrats — and her party sang an out-of-order goodbye jeer to the opposition.

“Yesterday, House Republicans finally released the text of their super-secret bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Now we know why they tried so hard to hide it from not only House Democrats, but also our Senate colleagues and the American people.”

WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) issued the following statement in response to House Republicans taking the first step in their attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act:

“While House Republicans have backed down from their disgraceful plan to gut the independent House Ethics Committee, all Americans should steel themselves for this kind of failed leadership from Speaker Ryan and company in 2017.”
